We are excited to announce that for the first time at a Mind Sports Academy event, popular eSports titles Hearthstone® and Starcraft II® will be playable directly at the Bristol event. With experienced eSports tournament organisers Multiplay on hand to provide a high-quality gaming experience, Bristol will be the first stop in a tour incorporating both live and online events on the path towards the Mind Sports International World Championship.

Parent company, Mind Sports International brand Ambassador, Rachel Riley, feels the Academy is a great avenue for new and existing Mind Sport's fans, "Mind Sports International are providing a great community for mind sports players to meet like-minded people and compete in good spirit for truly rewarding prizes."

Since January 2014 monthly events have been held across the Country where intellectual sports enthusiasts and newcomers to the games will be able to learn, train and compete at as many events as they wish. Over the course of the year Mind Sports Academy events will visit 12 different cities and distribute over £40,000 in cash and prizes.

The event, which is open to any member of the public to both attend and take part, includes a wide variety of tournaments spanning Chess, Scrabble and Magic: the Gathering. There will be discovery sessions each day at 1pm, 3pm and 5pm for you to learn more about the different mind sports.

Bristol’s Mind Sports Academy Live 'welcome event' will give the public an opportunity to experience the fun and benefits associated with playing mind sports and includes Scrabble, Chess and Magic: The Gathering with the opportunity to win prizes for participating as well as up to £400 per game in the competitive taster tournaments, a total £3750 in prizes guaranteed split between cash prizes, appearance fees and free entries to the Mind Sports International World Championships.

The Academy events complement our rapidly growing online community on www.mindsportsacademy.com, where members enjoy discounts at events, exclusive training videos and interactive games, discussing these games with other people they are interested in on our forum.

The idea for the Mind Sports Academy came about thanks to the growing global demand for more organised mind sports events and integration programmes with clubs and schools. The development of the £120 membership programme gives players and clubs the opportunity to become a part of what will become a worldwide network that participates in structured events and general community engagement.

The first of its kind, the Mind Sports Academy offers individuals and groups an array of learning and training opportunities, as well as the opportunity to take part and compete in tournaments hosted across the country for a yearly membership fee.

All Academy events lead to the Mind Sports International World Championships at the prestigious ExCel in London November 19-23, with a £10,000 prize fund.
